Chapter 261


    Theodore looked around the room with a smirk. In the end, his gaze fixed on his mother''s.


    Looking at the familiar face, he felt miserable. For so many years, she had been aggressively doing


    everything to the extent that she even hurt Everleigh. Looking at her now, there was no hint of


    remorse from her for her wrongdoings. He felt lost for words.


    He pondered for a moment and said, "If Grandma wasn''t in the city hospital, would you still sue?"

    Mrs. Godfrey did not answer but looked at him coldly.


    Josephine stood behind him and she didn''t dare say anything. The main reason being that she had


    already offended Theodore. She was worried that if she was to mutter another word, his wrath


    would be directed at her.


    It wasn''t her battle to fight.


    "You are not holding the hospital ountable. The only reason you are doing this is because you


    want to me Everleigh. Don''t even try to use Grandma''s name in vain. After all, you do everything


    to suit your own purpose." Theodore exposed Madison sugarcoating her acts.


    He ought to have known better. Ever since Everleigh left him, he realized how dumb he was to not


    look into the incident, but med her all this while. She had been through so many hardships all


    because of him, yet his hands were tied.


    "Theodore, do you know who you''re talking to?"


    "Of course I do, Madison Allen." He took a step forward in an imposing manner. The coldness in his


    eyes made it seem as if he was looking at a stranger.


    He didn''t see her as his mother at all.


    Upon hearing Theodore''s words, everyone in the room was shocked. Who would have thought that


    he would say something like that? That was his biological mother.


    Madison''s eyes widened with disbelief, "You..."


    "Why are you so shocked by my words? Everyone has their limits. Where''s yours?" His cold gaze


    was like a knife, piercing through Madison''s heart.


    She never expected that her son whom she brought up, would say such a thing.


    Josephine was also shocked. Although she knew that their rtionship wasn''t good, she didn''t


    expect that it would be this bad.


    Wasn''t Theodore essentially cutting ties with his mother?


    His gaze swept over thewyers sitting by the side. At this point, there was nothing to hold back. If


    they all wanted to make him a fool, then so be it.


    He said to them, "If any of you dare to file awsuit against the hospital, you''ll be going against me.


    If you don''t believe me, then just give it a try." With that, he left without looking back.


    Thosewyers looked at each other and they didn''t know what to do.


    Josephine wanted to leave with him but Theodore drove away,pletely ignoring her.


    The next day, news about the city hospital being sued spread. Everleigh heard about the news


    when she was at home watching TV.


    She felt nothing but irony. Surely, Theodore''s words couldn''t be trusted as what he said was not in


    ordance with his actual actions.


    "Is it about Madam Helen''s passing?" Abraham came downstairs, and his emotions could not be


    discerned from his words.


    "Yes."


    "Really?" He said in a doubtful tone.


    She remained silent for a long time.


    Abraham''s eyes dimmed a little. With a chuckle, he said, "I believe that you didn''t make a mistake."


    "Yeah." She immediately burst outughing. Her eyes, in particr, sparkled with joy.


    It felt nice to have your family''s trust.


    Abraham looked at her gently, but there was faint anxiety deep down. He had a gut feeling that it


    would not end so easily this time.


    When they were chatting, the door opened and Selena entered the room furiously. "What''s this


    about?" Abraham and Everleigh asked out of curiosity.


    "Let''s not talk about it. Everleigh, what have you done this time? I''ve been harassed on set all day."


    Selena sat angrily on the sofa, her face still showing apparent fury.


    Everleigh looked downwards and didn''t say a single thing.


    "Don''t you keep quiet! Now, everyone is spreading the word that you are a careless doctor and Mrs.


    Godfrey died because of you. What are you doing? Even the sly fox knows to hide his tail after


    committing a crime."


    Upon hearing this, Abraham shouted angrily at Selena, "What nonsense are you spouting? Your


    sister is not that kind of person."


    Selena was startled at his shout and murmured under her breath, "Well no matter what, she should


    do her job properly."


    Everleigh heard what she said and smiled widely. Although Selena''s words were not pleasant to


    hear, she could feel her concern for her.


    "Your sister is a good doctor. If someone attempts to frame her, there is nothing she can do no


    matter how good of a job she is doing. This is how society works." Abraham''s voice echoed


    throughout the room.


    Everleigh and Selena were both silent, their expressions worried.


    A ringtone broke the ice. It was from Mr. Lawson, and Everleigh knew what wasing.


    "Hello Mr. Lawson."


    "You''ve seen it, haven''t you?"


    "Yes, I did. Why are you calling me?" Everleigh couldn''t figure out his purpose in calling her.


    ording to protocol, she would have to wait to be investigated, and it should have nothing to do


    with the hospital.


    Mr. Lawson said in a low voice, "Now that the


    hospital is under investigation, you should be present as well. Mrs. Godfrey will not let this go


    easily."


    "I have been suspended, and my credibility has already been destroyed. I will cooperate with the


    investigation. As for the others, I have nothing to do with it." Everleigh ignored hisst sentence.


    Mr. Lawson found her attitude annoying, as if she was not taking it seriously.


    "Everleigh, did you do it on purpose?"


    "Mr. Lawson, what do you mean? I followed all of your instructions. What is there to me me for?"


    Everleigh''s answer was neither humble nor pushy.


    Abraham was satisfied with her words. A person with a clear conscience should stand tall, and their


    words should be confident. That was thest shred of dignity one had left.


    Meanwhile, Selena was full of disdain as she thought to herself, "Why is she still pretending that


    everything is okay?"


    Mr. Lawson was angered by her words and he hung up right away.


    However, Everleigh wasn''t offended at all. At this point, she was already bullet-proof.


    As soon as the phone was hung up, Christopher called.


    "Christopher." "There is a lead now. I have to go to the nightclub tonight," he said immediately and


    he sounded worried.


    Everleigh''s eyes gleamed slightly, and she smiled a little. "Okay, then take care of yourself."


    "Trust me, but I heard that there are many beautiful women in this nightclub. For someone like me,


    it''s really a perfect distraction," he said jokingly.


    She felt that this man had no idea what his limits were. If Felicia knew that he was like this, there


    would be hell to pay.


    Everleigh hung up the phone and decided to not say another word to him. Every word she said


    seemed to be killing her brain cells.


    Hearing Christopher''s words, Selena couldn''t help but sneer. "Your taste in men is horrible."
